Starlight is a game with a unique playing style, where Timothy
and Altair are equal partners and not just another boy with another
non-playable guardian watching over him. The player controls both
characters simultaneously, and uses each of their traits to help
the other overcome their obstacles. Timothy cannot be left for long
in the darkness and will be startled by the shapes and sounds
coming from the places unseen. Altair on the other hand, cannot
pass through water, reflective surfaces and several other horrors,
that can make things very unpleasant for both heroes. So as the
player, you must get Timothy to collect up the pieces of a
shattered Sun, while creatively thinking of ways to keep him in the
light. Relying on Timothy’s physical body and strong
emotions, you can give Altair the freedom he needs to unleash his
unique assortment of skills. Imagination is your main weapon in
this game, and creative exploration is a must.

Starlight is a fresh look at the traditional fantasy adventure.
It covers the journey of Timothy Brave, a boy who is afraid of the
dark, and Altair, a sentient shooting star. The two have joined
forces to take on a dark world where the Sun has shattered,
plunging it into an eternal night. Timothy’s intense fear of
the darkness makes it real within his own mind, turning the very
shadows themselves into tangible entities that he can interact with
in various ways. As a star, Altair continuously projects light
around him, keeping the darkness away from Timothy. Furthermore, as
Timothy gathers the fallen pieces of the Sun, Altair’s’
light begins to grow. He develops the power to create different
forms like Solar Flares, Nova explosions and he can restore the old
Sun to its original place. As the game progresses, you must use the
characters’ unique traits to mould the world to your liking
and explore in dimensions never before seen in mainstream
gaming.

Creative Genius is a new company that prides itself on original
concepts and untraditional approaches to them. Out of all the games
on their production line, Starlight was the obvious choice to be
the forerunner of their campaign to create a new generation of
gaming figures. It stood out as the best representative of their
developers’ philosophy, for its’ unique style and
storyline that makes Starlight immediately iconic. There is also a
strong focus on fun, dynamic game play, that exists alongside a
beautifully crafted appearance, rather then being compromised for
it. The game is more challenging the more you creatively explore
its’ universe, making it appealing to wide audience and fun
to play over and over again.

London based game developers Creative Genius are mere steps away
from the finish line of their fundraising campaign for Starlight.
With just a little more help, the years most original game will be
making its debut this Easter, capturing the hearts of all those
that have missed the traditional bedtime stories of their
youth.
